?? Building your event strategy from scratch to support your business? No sweat—Jay Schwedelson’s got the no-BS blueprint to make your event pop! Here’s Jay’s “No Snooze” Guide to Event Planning that he shared with our Captain of Vibes, Jordan Arnold. ?? ?? 1. Value or Bust ?Be brutally honest: What will people actually get from this? No filler, no fluff—just pure, actionable insights your audience can use. ?? 2. Burn the Cookie-Cutter Using the same tired templates as everyone else? ?? That’s a one-way ticket to Snoozeville. Be bold, be different, and let your brand’s personality take center stage. ?? ?? 3. Lead with the Juice ?– “Webinar”? ?? Let’s try: focusing on highlighting the killer insights, the can’t-miss takeaways, and the real value they’ll get instead. Format? It doesn’t matter as much as long as the experience is electric, and you’re providing value! Let’s make one thing clear this National Entrepreneurs' Day: Extraordinary businesses need extraordinary events. Time to level up. ??

“What would make you love our events? And how can we make it happen?” Two simple questions, game-changing results. But when’s the right time to ask them? Attendee feedback is crucial for creating events that deliver year-round ROI. Yet, too often, event planners miss an easy chance to make their events more engaging and fun. ?? If you want feedback on an event that just wrapped? Post-event surveys are the way to go. ?? But if you’re after even more insight? Ask for feedback at registration. ?? With feedback from past events and fresh intel from new sign-ups, every event you plan builds on the success of the last. Now that’s thinking ahead. ?? And it’s one more way to turn your events into year-round marketing gold. https://lnkd.in/g3BQ65Vx
